Coping With Virtue: Ten Virtues For Meeting Life As It Is

By: Myers Lcpc, John Richard

What if the virtues were more than ideals-what if they were practical tools for everyday wellness?

The Virtues explores timeless qualities of character through a contemporary wellness perspective, bringing ancient wisdom into conversation with modern psychology, counseling, recovery, and personal growth.

Drawing upon a lifetime of education, writing, counseling, behavioral-health leadership, community service, and reflection, John Richard "J.R." Myers, MHS, MPC, NCC, MAC, LCPC, presents the virtues not as rigid moral rules, but as living practices that can help us navigate the challenges of being human.

From Love, Hope, Courage, Wisdom, Compassion, Honesty, Resilience, Balance, Purpose, Joy, and many others, each virtue offers a different pathway toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, meaningful action, and connection with community.

The book follows a practical four-part wellness framework:

Healing considers how each virtue can support growth through adversity and change.

Wellness Activity transforms the virtue into something that can be intentionally practiced.

Affirmation provides language for incorporating the virtue into daily thought and action.

Reflection invites deeper personal exploration, insight, and meaning.

Rooted in wisdom that stretches across cultures and centuries, The Virtues offers a distinctly contemporary vision: virtues can serve as essential tools for individual and community wellness in an increasingly complex and fragmented world.

This is not simply a book about virtues.

It is an invitation to practice them-and, through that practice, to cultivate a more intentional, balanced, resilient, and meaningful life.
